The Spring Festival of 1975 passed by in a noisy and bustling manner.
Because of Tu Long's capture, Sang Zi was extremely busy and didn't even spend the New Year at home.
Then there would be even less time to go to Nanshan Village.
However, before the New Year, I had Buyi send a letter to Shen Ci.
This action puzzled Bu Yi, who quietly asked Bu Ling, "Lingling, are your brother-in-law and Shen Ci very close?"
Bling: ...
She was extremely sincere: "Isn't it obvious?"
Buyi scratched his head.
Yeah?
Why did he feel like something was off?
Two grown men, why can't you just say what you want to say? Why are you writing letters like that? You don't even live that far apart.
However, it's also possible that Director Sang has something he doesn't want to say aloud!
Bu Yi was lost in his own thoughts and therefore did not notice Bu Ling's slightly unnatural expression.
Even though they didn't return to Kyoto, the Sang family still had a very lively New Year celebration under the care of their aunt.
After a lively and joyous New Year celebration, the Sang family finally emerged from the shadow of Xiaoxing's kidnapping and returned to their former peace.
The peace was shattered by the arrival of a letter.
"My second daughter-in-law is pregnant!" Auntie announced joyfully at the dinner table.
Really?
"That's great!"
"Congratulations, Second Brother!"
Auntie's lips were also curled up in a wide smile, but she quickly sighed, looked at Buling hesitantly, then at Little Star, unsure of how to begin.
Of course, Bu Ling noticed her aunt's hesitation and, after a moment's thought, knew what she was struggling with.
She wasn't an unreasonable person, so she said very understandingly, "Aunt, if you're worried about my second brother and sister-in-law, you can go and stay there for a while."
Sangshen then realized what was happening and quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Auntie, Little Star is all grown up now. When spring comes and it's not so cold anymore, I'll send her to the orphanage so she won't need anyone to look after her."
Both he and Buling have easy jobs, and if they worry about their daughter, they can visit her anytime, so they don't have to worry about her being bullied when they don't know.
Although, given their precious daughter's personality, the possibility is extremely slim, parents always tend to think things through more.
The aunt was somewhat tempted, but looking at the little girl earnestly showing off her food, she felt reluctant: "Is this really okay? Will our little Xingxing be bullied?"
Bling: ...
This filter is thicker than her own mother's!
"Probably not..." she said uncertainly. "At worst, we can just keep an eye on things from time to time."
Besides, her daughter isn't the type to silently endure being bullied.
Sangshen chimed in from the side, "We can send our daughter to the orphanage near the machinery factory."
After the previous cleaning, the machinery factory is now spotless, and safety is absolutely guaranteed.
Bling also said, "That is one way."
“I heard from Sister Yuanyuan that her son Tie’an will also be sent to the preschool this year. That way, he can keep our little Xingxing company. Two people are better than one.”
Moreover, to put it bluntly, with Tie An around, any peers would have to think twice before bullying their daughter.
Little Tie'an, as expected of the child who picked a rice bowl during his first birthday celebration, his appetite is, without exaggeration, absolutely worthy of his weight.
In addition, there are grandmothers who always think their grandchildren are eating too much and not enough. As a result, without realizing it, little Tie'an has been fed into a chubby little boy, and he is still getting fatter.
This is why Wu Yuanyuan sent her child to the preschool program; she wanted her child to get some exercise.
“Yes, Aunt, my second brother needs you more than we do,” Sangshen said sincerely.
His second brother, a researcher, is so busy he works day and night. His sister-in-law is a soldier, so it's even more so. Besides, it's not very convenient for them to hire a nanny.
Now that my second sister-in-law is pregnant again, and neither of them has any elders around, my eldest aunt is the best choice to go.
My aunt is a veteran revolutionary, her family background is absolutely verifiable, and she is also my second brother's biological mother, making her the best candidate.
Auntie knew all this, but she was worried about Little Star.
This is the first child in the Sang family, and the little girl she has always longed for. She has watched her grow up, so it's no exaggeration to say that she is the apple of her eye. She really can't rest easy about her.
However, Xiaoqi and Lingling are right; the second child does need an elder.
After hesitating for a while, Auntie finally made up her mind, "Lingling, I'll write a letter later, and you can mail it on your way tomorrow."
“Since we’re going, we should go as soon as possible. Your second brother’s job is special. If I want to go, I’ll definitely have to submit a report and go through layers of approval, which is very troublesome.” Aunt explained, afraid that Bu Ling would misunderstand.
“Okay, I’ll mail it out tomorrow.” Bling didn’t think much of it at all.
She was truly grateful to her aunt, who had traveled a long way to Gu County to help them take care of their child and manage their household chores. She was truly a great elder.
To be honest, she felt a little guilty towards her aunt, who had finally retired but still had to worry about her family.
Raising Little Star to this age has been so hard and tiring, but now that things aren't so exhausting, my second sister-in-law is pregnant again, and my aunt has to rush off to take care of the next pregnant woman.
Next comes the newborn baby, which is exhausting just thinking about it.
Thinking this way, Buling said the same thing to Sangs that night.
"We are the ones who have let Aunt down." Sangshen was in low spirits.
Buling ruffled his hair twice. "Then we'll take good care of Auntie from now on."
